Movement, angles, distance and timing

That's why I believe Miguel Vasquez is TBE. Right larry?

Lomachenko will be very hard to deal with in a few years when he hits his professional mental prime.

Seem to be so underrated on here and even at times called running and boring. These traits can be the different in not getting ko'd and scoring a ko. I know most do not understand this at all and will just enter the thread posting rubbish because they can not comment on the topic. But anyone who is diehard or an experienced fighter knows a master of these traits is almost impossible to beat and even harder to even look good against without getting frustrated.

The last sentence was especially well worthy.

Larry speaks the truth, probably why he loves fighters like Lomachenko, Vazquez, Carlos Molina and so on.

Boxing and entertainment go hand in hand. That being said, you got dudes who can get a crowd in a frenzy, landing some sweet, powerful combinations along the way, and you got your dudes who yeah are hitting and not getting hit, but stink out the joint something awful.

You know it's a sad thing when traditional boxing abilities are construed as running in the sport of boxing. Don't get me wrong, I like a KO as much as the next guy but nothing gets me hyped up like a chess match of highly skilled technicians. That is truly a thing to behold, pure skill at the highest level...any two subpar guys can produce a devastating war of attrition and KO, but only a select few can give you the prior arrangement.

Yes but at the same time there is a big difference between what guys like Marquez, Ward or Lomachenko do compared to Dirrell running to the other side of the ring anytime he wants to avoid a punch. Controlling distance or using angles to put yourself in a safe position without constantly jumping way outside of punching range or running is something many pseudo "purist" fanboys can't differentiate between. Running does exists.

Okay, if anyone else had made this post it would be a valid point. But let's be honest, if Floyd was KOing guys left and right while having a completely different style you wouldn't be saying this. You're the same guy that referred to Barrera as a bum and called Morales a skilless brawler in order to diminish Pacquiaos career.

Yes in the Russell fight his movement and sense of distance was a thing of beauty. He made it impossible for Russel to get off without lunging in

Larry, can you give an example of a fighter like that?

Orlando Canizales. Seriously. Some of the best angles, movement and timing you'll ever see in a boxing ring. Particularly his angles.
